Join us on April 13, 2013 for the second run of the Manila Business Leadership Seminar. It is a gathering of students and young professionals to know more about themselves and tap their potential to be empowered and purpose-driven individuals.

Saddleback Manila is bringing together the brightest minds in business with speakers like Boris Joaquin, Seasoned Management & Marketing Professional and Ron Gess, Associate Director for Verizon Technical Services, who is flying in from California. Damon Harrison, who will be coming in with Ron, will conduct a SHAPE Discovery session – a fun self-discovery activity. Of course, we will be showing a message from Pastor Rick Warren!
